Hello, I want to preface this post with saying that I am not very good with Java, so please excuse any glaring rule breaking. Anyway, I wanted to try and make some company specific boilerplate snippets.I have managed to create a custom extension and I can import it into my platform correctly.However when used, it returns a function like; let ResultTypeName = doSomething(); Instead of what I am returning from the "doSomething" function. I'm certain I am doing something wrong. What I want is basically something similar to how the try/catch snippet works, or really almost any other snippet.  I started with following this PTC article and also this document but felt it didn't really cover my needs.So if anyone has any other resources around this, I'd very much appreciate it if they could post them here. I'm also uploading my metadata and src file in case it is of interest. Thanks,Jens

Is there any Form Widget for creating forms in thingworx?i want to  create a form with multiple rows and columns as shown  in the file.

Hi!We currently have our TW server configured for SSO via pingFederate.  That part works great.  I now want to use some android tablets to access TW mashups on the LAN which bypass SSO. I have done the following:1. created an appKey and can set an expiry and userID to it.2. Checked the boxes in the platform system settings to "Allow Request Method Switch" and "Allow Application Key As URL Parameter"3. Added ApplicationKeySettings: enabled=true to the sso-settings.json file4. Opened an URL on the android tablets in this format: "https://<ThingWorxServer>:<ThingWorxPort>/Thingworx/Mashups/<MashupName>?appKey=<AppKey>&x-thingworx-session=true" I am still getting directed to the SSO SAML sign-in page. I can't seem to find any other documentation on how to use the appKey approach and SSO at the same time.  Does anyone have any other insights? We are on version 9.3.8 Thanks!

Dear, I am evaluating Universal Device Driver (UDD) for one on-going project using socket TCP communication. I can find some examples of the profile files from following github link.https://github.com/PTCInc/Universal-Device-Driver-Examples I also studied the video tutorial from following Youtube post (Getting Started with the Universal Device Driver). But the example (openweathermap api) doesn't work.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGWTfE3Yg4Y&t=5s So can I find other detail tutorial, then I can build up an end-to-end example? Thanks

Hello community, I have a  services Thing Hub, where a lot of devices send to this twx endpoints messages in json format. The number of post request to this twx endpoint is going to have more demand and I do different operations as data processing, add logs, set the data in the thing that represent the digital twin of the device etc... . I create this with a general thing template and I have some questions: 1. Exist any template that have a good performance to this use case? (Receive a lot of post request)2. Have I check the async check box to improve the performance?3. Exist any information about the number of request that one thingworx endpoint can have?4. Can I monitoring that number of request? Thank you in advance,Luis.

Hello, we do a lot of development on an Allen Bradley PLC and had the question come up wondering if there is a way to read or write to the Device Level System Tags (the ._System tags) that you see in OPC Quick Client. Are there any examples or is there a way to do this? This is a 1756-L72 ControlLogix 5570 with revision 32.11 and using KepServerEx v6.10.659.0, basically the thought is can I create a tag in the PLC that can write to or read to a particular ._System tag? Or anyway to read all of the ._System tags on the PLC side?

Hello, I am quite new to using Kepware so sorry if there is a super obvious answer to this question. What are some ways a PLC can know that it has lost connection to Kepware? In one of my projects we created a handshake between Thingworx and the PLC to ensure that the PLC would know that the data had been saved on the Thingworx side.I also read about some OPC UA status codes that should be sent if the connection is lost.Is this what should be used? I have tried to find some information about this on google but haven't really had much luck, so any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks,Jens

Hello all, I have designed a web mashup for a project, which has lots of widgets like lists, buttons, labels, and collections. When I view it on mobile devices, it does not load properly, if I switch to desktop view then it shows the whole mashup, but I want to stay in mobile view so I want to know if there is any way to load that mashup on mobile devices through minor changes or if I should create a new one for mobile devices and if I need to create a new one then how can I decide that user loads it on mobile or web?

Hi Experts,   I have SSO based authentication for Mashup login and whenever timeout happens and refreshes the mashup it redirects to https:Host:port/Thingworx/Runtime/index.html instead of intended mashup URL configured in the index.jsp and user has to enter full URL again in the browser.   Note: SSO is disabled while this happens.
